UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Chat Mod 1.0.23

LK,

The chat mod is working great, and I only have one problem:

I have the COPPA checks in place and require underage children to either mail or fax in a signed permission form to be able to post messages. Im sure you know these accounts are set with posting privledges set to Off by default.

With the code above, it does require that you are logged in to the site, however it does not do any sort of check to see if the user's posting privledges are set to off.

The whole idea of the COPPA regulations is to prevent underage children from revealing personal information to the public... so if they cant post messages in a public forum then they certainly cant have access to a public chat room. Anyone using the COPPA checks for legal protection are at risk using this chat.

As it is now, I can remove posting privledges on a user, remove their ability to send PM's and alter their profile, but there is no way to prevent them from entering the chatroom.

Have a couple of problems LK so bare with me.

1) You can't see everyone else. Only yourself.
2) Added my registered number, but still showing the unregistered message.
3) Above where the smilies are at, have a broken image to the non-cgi folder. I can't figure out what is causing this. Also the smilies are linked to the wrong ones.
4) Will everyone on my board be able to use their UBB username for this or do they have to reregister?
5) What are the commands to make Admins/Mods and what is the difference that both can do?

My priority is really getting this to work where everyone can see each other and able to read their messages. Plus that registration removed. I added the number, but it still shows it. Yes I did clear the cache as well.

Help if you can LK. Thanks.

webwolfe: try:

Terminator:
1. That means they surfed to another place after they entered the chatroom, or they're not connected through mIRC.
2. The jPilot license key?
3. If you have DPK's SmilieMod copy the smilies to /noncgi. If not, no idea.
4. They can use it unless someone else registered it in the server, but I suggest them to register it (/nickserv register password email, not the UBB password).
5. The main admin should register the channel (register your nick as explained in #4 and then /chanserv register #channel password description), sop (/chanserv sop #channel add nick) other admins and aop (/chanserv aop #channel add nick) moderators.

All of them have to have registered nicks.

The jIRC license I figured it out. Registered it to my redirect URL address instead of the IP address of the server. Duh!!

Also the smilies don't work with what you said. It didn't correct the problem. All well, no big deal.

For the #1 question, how do I correct that? Is it something in the Chat Settings I have to do? I left it at default.

As for making my own channel, is their some requirements for that?

Ok LK. Everything is working now and I fixed the smilies problem.

You will get a broken image link IF you add more then one charector space between the image file names in the Chat Settings in CP.

One last problem to solve. I don't know how to make a channel. Not register, but make it. It says I need to admin a channel first.

Can you tell me how to do that and if I can't, is their another way to set Admins/Mods?

Thanks LK.

I think it means the channel is already registered, try another name (like if your board is called Destiny's Capital and #destinyscapital is taken, you can use #destinycapital, #destinys-capital, etc).

Looks like a great hack, but could you reupload the zip file please? It seems to be corrupt, and I need it as I can't get Multihack to install. Cheers.

It works fine here

I can only find it once. I am sure this is because of another hack I have installed, and it seems to be Easys hit couner from what I can tell. Any way around this??

Please disregard the above, I got it figured out

Great mod, although I'm not convinced that it's working properly with Who's Online. I got a mate to go in the chatroom and it showed "1 person in the chatroom" but a couple of minutes later this seemed to have vanished.

Is there any way of adding my own .au sounds? I did try uploading one but it didn't seem to work.

no connect !!! http://www.axtien.de/cgi-bin/UBB/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat

test it

[ 10-12-2001: Message edited by: melder ]

Neil: upload noncgi/sound_trigger.au, then /s trigger

melder: Maybe you should try another server. BTW, is it just me, or it keeps refreshing the iframe thing? Make sure you have $vars_whos_online{inactive_time} set correctly.

i have 6.01 and a very old beta "who is online" ...

error of the day:

### USER not enought parameters

..............
?!?! and now ?

LK,
Just a quick question....
Does your hack work with 6.1?
My members would hunt me down and kill me if I upgraded and lost the chat room!
Thanks for the best hack ever!
Bandit

Bandit: Yes, check the V6.1 Beta Forum

Hi,

could so please send me the evaluation reg key? From the original file?

And the user name?

I tried a keymaker, but they regognized it

Thanx,

Schrapnell

You have to buy it, with how you spell it, M-O-N-E-Y :rolleyes:

Well yes, I know it.

But I want to use the evaluation license which was included with the original file.

Could you please post THAT eval license please? I overwrote it with my fake key and now I cant use the aplet any more.

Thanx,
Schrapnell

There isn't a license key for the evalution version, I don't see any reason it won't work.

What's your board's url?

I found the key.
Thanks.

Schrapnell

[ 10-22-2001: Message edited by: Schrapnell ]

Hmm.. Why do I have the feeling it's the license key?

Hi again,

perhabs I do not understand the method of this license.

I thought that if I use the evaluation license (which shows the two lines "Unregistered etc.." in each posting), I can use it unlimited. I see the two lines, but that is my problem.
If I don't want to see those two lines any more I register. Am I right?
You see, for me it is so far ok to see the two lines for a time. I want to check if my users accept the chat or not.

But although the evaluation copy lines appear, the aplet shows me:



when I want to log on. Try it under http://forum.leo-clubs.de

Yesterday evening and this morning for aprox. 2 hours the aplet worked fine (with the evaluation lines), but suddenly it showed me the above line.

Does the author of the aplet remarque that I use it (perhaps too often??) and closes my domain? Is that possible?
Or a kind of database at jpilot.com which checks live and online the domains who are using the aplet?

Can you help me please?

Oh, I thought you meant something else

It's not the applet that is doing that, it's DALnet.

Make sure you typed in a username, and if it still doesn't help maybe DALnet blocked your ISP.

In the CP, try to use irc.webchat.org instead of the DALnet servers.

OK, THAT prob is solved! Thank you!!

But have a look on this:



You see? The two names normally should be in 2 different colored lines.
Just for your information...

Bye

My chat work but not find a channel for dicussion...what can i do ?

[ 10-26-2001: Message edited by: Asso ]

WHY i dont have this line in ubb_forum_summery?

$ThisHTML =~ s//$replace/g unless $in{category};

You gotta have Who's Online to use this mod.

I have who's online and still i dont have this line, i only have: $ThisHTML =~ s//$replace/
why??

i got it never mind, but i have another problem
why it always says that there's no one in the chat? even when somwone is there.

LK,

The mod has been working GREAT! Thanks again for all the work you have put in to it.

You know my site is large (16,000+ members) and they have identified 1 bug that I cannot fix.

Users are complaining that they are getting chat invite popups that do not show the person who sent the invite. It says "Invite From: " (just blank)

I am able to duplicate this by logging in as admin and sending an invite to anyone... everyone I send to gets a blank invite popup.

However many other members are able to send invites with no troubles.

Also, A few times I have went to the site and logged in, and then immediately get a blank invite popup... I dont see how anyone could have sent me an invite when I wasnt logged in. What happens if someone invites me to chat and I log off or close the browser window before I get the popup?

You can see an active discussion of this bug from the members who are reporting it here

webwolfe: I have no idea, but if someone is exploting it, you should just disable the invitation feature from the CP...

its not being exploited.

every time i send an invite to members it is blank. This is an easily duplicated bug, not somone exploiting the invite button.

Members have been complaining of this bug since the day i installed the chat

I have no idea what's causing it, but try the 6.1.0 code:

it fixed my bug.

now when I invite myself I do not get a blank invite!

I am going to let every one know to keep an eye out. Thanks once again for the speedy replies!

HI LK!

Thks for the awesome hack as many of the users who are helping me test it enjoys it. I only have a question in regards to the sound. Although I have it enabled and uploaded the .au files, how do I get them to work?

THANKS!
PrimeTime

This hack is fantastic... I just have a question.
When I installed Who's Online 4.1, I was given special instructions if I wanted the "Who's Online" to appear at the top like a categoy...

The "ChatRoom Catgory" is displayed at the bottom... What do I have to edit to have it at the top ??, just under my who's online.

I'm French, so please excuse my English.

Regards,
Cedric SIROT.

I have got it installed and working right but I am not sure if I understand the irc correctly.

The chat takes the username from the board and you are logged on to chat with it. Most of the usernames are already registered by someone else at Dalnet (or will be with most servers) so unless I am using my own IRC server users will be prompted to change the username.
I had first thought usernames are unique per channel only but I guess I was wrong they are per Server.

Is it possible to add some code where it will add a random number at the end of the username like it is adding at the end of the Guest?. The users at my board would be confused by messages prompting them to change their names.
This way atleast the users may not have the change the name and with Who's online people know who is in there anyways.

Thanks for the great hack... :-)

Hi,

How can I put a link to the chat next to the "Search"-Link at the top of the forumspage?

Please help

Bye
Dennis

I don't have 6.05 therefore I don't know how to put it after search, but that's how you put it after forum home:
open ubb_lib.cgi
find:
=====
$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}
add after:
==========
| chat

Hi Lk,

Thanks! Works fine!

Dennis
